any chance you can upload a backup ZIP where you can reproduce this, where it contains only this? otherwise sort hard to say i can say that according to the automated tests, it is testing the selectors extremely specifically, so the fault is not there, it must be something else, moreso, many people would report a bug like this if it was actually this, because this is a core piece of the software's functionality |

Totally, I use the same functionality successfully in my other watches without issues whatsoever. |

I have the same issue in my installation of changedetection.io v0.45.12. I'm monitoring a reddit sub and although I have a filter in place for a central content area it checks a sidebar which shows how many people are online. |

Thank you for the reply. I wanted to see if this was still an active issue, if it is confirmed, and if any progress was made on the previous report. I also wanted to add that it was happening to someone other than the OP. Here's more information on my issue: https://changedetection.io/share/eURlIvZpHK4a URL: https://www.reddit.com/r/DataHoarder/search/?q=flair_name%3A%22Sale%22%20wd%20red&restrict_sr=1&t=week Filter created by using the Visual Filter Selector which showed only the center section highlighted and not the sidebar that contains the members online. I also added Ignore Text with a regex to ignore the members online, but it still triggers when it changes (I verified the regex with Notepad++). I tweaked this regex a few times from more specific to less specific and it matches each time in Notepad++ but doesn't filter it out in changedetection. Members?.*Online Members?.*Online I tried verifying the xpath on the HTML I downloaded from Firefox dev tools, but it wasn't valid XML so Notepad++ XML Tools couldn't parse it. Am I simply misunderstanding the visual filter selector and the ignore text or should it not be alerting me when these changes happen: (changed) 724K Members 1.3K Online (changed) 724K Members 1.5K Online (changed) 724K Members 1.3K Online |

I am monitoring https://hdvideo.one/signup.php and used visual selector to only select
/html/body/table/tbody/tr/td/table/tbody/tr/td/table/tbody/tr/td
, a central box on the page. Yet despite that, the watch monitors all changes, including the footer which changes randomly. The selector is valid, so what's going on here? Using pluralsight monitor BTW:Beta Was this translation helpful? Give feedback.
